How RJF and his probable psychiatric
problems got into this thread
is beyond me.

My point was to treat words with a due care,
to make a clear distinction between the two
words which unfortunately are confused in a
sloppy way: patriotism and nationalism.

(Of course, beside the patriots, nationalists
and chauvinists there are also plain idiots
like "anti-zionists", who tend to be prejudiced
mainly due to their cretinism rather than say
phiny "socialism", phony "liberalism", ...).
